[QUOTE="agee, post: 396210"] As difficult child gets older his social issues are becoming more and more apparent. When he's with kids he always, always, always ends up getting picked on - teased, beat up, the one on the bottom of the pile, etc. He will push everyone's buttons until they come out swinging. He revels in it. What can be done to reteach him a better way of being with kids? He pushed my husband's and my buttons, too, but we are aware of it enough so that most of the time - 80%? - we can let it slide/be calm/give reasonable consequence/detach. Sometimes we lose it, but we get better at it every day. I feel that if his social behaviors continue he's going to end up getting the **** beat out of him. We're taking him out of school (homeschooling) at the end of January and this is one of the reasons why. Therapies? Books to read? Expert advice? (he has taken social skills classes at school where they say he is the "model" for the other kids - so it's not like he can't turn it on when he needs to. Private therapy for him has never been successful - in 9 months with our last therapist he basically progressed from answering a few questions to throwing toys around her office and rolling on the floor. Provocative behavior to avoid doing any work). Love some advice. A [/QUOTE]
